Chaos Rising runs to 122 cards across 8 rarities. Pokemon publish no pull rates for it, so these 8 are ranked on the set's own structure: how few cards share a tier, and which are numbered beyond the printed run.

The list

1. Mega Greninja ex

Numbered 122 against a printed set of 86, which is what makes it a secret rare rather than part of the base run. The only Mega Hyper Rare in the set.

2. Roxie's Performance

Numbered 121 against a printed set of 86, which is what makes it a secret rare rather than part of the base run. One of 6 cards at Special Illustration Rare.

3. Cinccino ex

Card 73 of 122. One of 10 cards at Double Rare.

4. Watchog

Numbered 97 against a printed set of 86, which is what makes it a secret rare rather than part of the base run. One of 11 cards at Illustration Rare.

5. Nitro Fire Energy

Card 86 of 122. One of 12 cards at Rare.

6. Tool Scrapper

Numbered 115 against a printed set of 86, which is what makes it a secret rare rather than part of the base run. One of 18 cards at Ultra Rare.

7. Transformation Tome

Card 83 of 122. One of 26 cards at Uncommon.

8. Minccino

Card 72 of 122. One of 38 cards at Common.

How these were picked

Pokemon publish no pull rates for Chaos Rising, so nothing here is an odds claim. The ranking is the set's own structure: a rarity with few cards in it is harder to complete than one with many, and a card numbered beyond the printed total is a secret rare by the publisher's own numbering.

Where they sit in the set

8 cards out of 122, 4 numbered beyond the printed run.
